Meng Qingyun suddenly realized and said, "No wonder the official family asked me if I had seen Concubine Min Shu outside the palace, in order to track down the foreign man who had a private meeting with Concubine Min Shu?" ”

Meng Jin nodded: "Concubine Min Shu's personal female official, although she confessed to her private meeting with a foreign man who disturbed the palace, she always refused to tell the name and identity of the adulterer, and finally couldn't survive the heavy punishment and died." And another palace man who knew about it also died by touching the pillar. ”

"These are the only two people who know, and as soon as they die, only Concubine Min Shu will be left."

"The official family originally remembered Concubine Min Shu's companionship for many years, and was unwilling to impose a heavy sentence. At this point, I have to torture it. ”

"However, without waiting for the official family's order, Concubine Min Shu died violently last night."

"The Taiyi Bureau confirmed that Concubine Min Shu had taken the poison of aconite."

Meng Qingyun asked: "Is it suicide in fear of sin?" ”

Meng Jin shook his head: "According to the palace people who monitored Concubine Min Shu, it was the palace people who brought her food who poisoned her, and the palace people committed suicide immediately after poisoning Concubine Min Shu. ”

Meng Qingyun gasped.

Meng Jin's face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "Obviously, the matter in the palace has been leaked, and the person who kills people must be adulterers." ”

"Concubine Min Shu lives in the deep palace, and under heavy surveillance and protection, this person can be poisoned and murdered in a grand manner, which shows that there must be an internal response for him in the palace."

"You can poison Concubine Min Shu today, can you poison the official family tomorrow?"

"All kinds of signs, thinking about it carefully, are extremely scary, so as soon as Concubine Min Shufei had an accident last night, the official family ordered the guards to enter the palace, block all the main roads, imprison all the palace people, and torture them one by one."

He let out a long sigh: "There is such a scandal in the palace, I don't know how many killings will be added and how many innocents will be implicated." ”

Meng Qingyun was also silent.

It's horrific enough just to think about it.

The foreign man had an affair with Concubine Min Shu, trying to confuse the royal blood and get involved in the storage position; That alone is emboldened.

And after the defeat, he was able to poison the concubine through the palace, especially the quick reaction of the other party and the ruthlessness of the attack, which made the official family very vigilant.

No matter from which point of view, this adulterer who fornicated with Concubine Min Shu is very likely to be a sinister and cunning careerist.

When Concubine Chao Shu was poisoned and killed, such a thing could never be kept a secret.

But after half a day's work, the nobles and eunuchs already knew the news.

There was an uproar.

The former division of the official family has taken over all the guards and defenses of the palace, and the entire palace is shrouded in bloody storms, and within two days, several officials and palace maids who are related to the palace people who poisoned and killed the concubine have been executed.

There may be innocent among them, but at this point, it is better to indulge in vain.

The boycott continues.

For the courtiers, this incident not only caused attention to the defense of the palace, but also put the matter of the official family's succession back on the desk.

The civil and military officials only knew that Concubine Min Shu died violently, but they did not know that Concubine Min Shu had fornication.

What they are concerned about is that as soon as Concubine Min Shu dies, the original possible prince will also die, that is, the official family still has no son.

The vassal clan hasn't all left yet.

It's gone, and it's not far yet, and it's coming back soon.

The layout of more than ten years of planning for each camp can still come in handy.

However, the official family did not see the courtiers at all, and he was now like an old lion who wanted to eat people, and whoever dared to bark at him would not hesitate to stretch out his claws and tear them apart.

Even a favored minister like Meng Jin honestly stayed in his own mansion and did not dare to take the lead.

However, although he did not go out to look for trouble, things did find him.

Doctor Lou is here again.

As soon as he saw Meng Jin, he knelt down and kowtowed without hesitation, and he didn't even shy away from Meng Qingyun's presence.

Meng Qingyun was taken aback.

Meng Jin hurriedly supported him: "Why is this? ”

Imperial Physician Lou raised his face, his face full of sorrow: "Mengshe people are smart people, how can they not know the unpredictable power of the sky. This time there was an accident in the palace, and the Taiyi Bureau could not escape the blame. ”

"But in the past two days, I am afraid that I will be convicted, and if I am lucky, I will be killed; If it is unfortunate, it is to destroy the family. ”

"Myself, there is no reason to be lucky. But my wife and children are innocent. ”

"I've told them to pack their bags and return home immediately. After they left, I apologized for my sins, hoping that the officials would be merciful and spare my family and children. ”

"Today, I only ask for one thing from the Mengshe people, my Lou clan is just a small people in the middle of the country, and I have no foundation. I also hope that the Mengshe people can send someone to escort Neiko back to his hometown and shelter one or two. ”

Before Meng Jin could reply, he continued on his own.

"I don't have to ask for anything, if the official family really wants to raid the family and exterminate the clan, no one can save us. But if the official family does not have the intention of connecting them, they also ask the Mengshe people to shelter one or two, so as to save the lives of Neiko and the children. ”

He kowtowed to Mengjin with a bang, and refused to get up no matter how Mengjin pulled.

In just a few strokes, the forehead was already bleeding.

Meng Jin sighed and said, "I promise you that it is." ”

Doctor Lou got up with a thousand thanks.

Mengjin immediately sent Zhang Ada, went to Lou's mansion, and without pausing for a moment, he escorted Mrs. Lou and the children out of Beijing.

That night, Imperial Doctor Lou committed suicide in the house.

Subsequently, many of the imperial doctors of the Taiyi Bureau were all convicted, or neglected their duties, or plotted to murder the master, and they were killed and killed in an instant, even if they did not know it, they were also implicated, and they were exiled to poor places such as Qiongzhou overseas.

A few days later, the palace also underwent a great purge, killing a group of people, replacing a group of people, thousands of palace female officials, ten out of three.

Because Concubine Min Shu's filthy palace confuses the royal bloodline, although it is a major crime to deceive the king, the reputation of the Son of Heaven cannot be tarnished, so she cannot make the crime public, and can only secretly track down the adulterer.

As the only official in the know, Meng Jin naturally became the first choice to be in charge of this matter.

For this reason, the official family also promoted him to the post of governor, participating in political affairs, and holding the same position as the deputy minister.

A few days later, the official family finally came to court.

The civil and military officials found out that around ten days ago, the official family was still in high spirits during the Wanshou Festival, but today it was like suddenly getting 20 years old, not only haggard, but also lost the spirit of the body, just like a drooping old lion, the fur of the body is no longer shiny.

The official family is really old.

Originally, he was still looking forward to discussing with the official family to re-elect the heir, but at this moment, he only felt distressed and pity.

After all, the monarch and the minister have been humiliating and worrying about the ministers for decades, although the official family is stubborn, and the government and official affairs are often decided, but he works hard to make the country prosperous, selects and appoints talents, and is a good official.

Such a young son has no son, which cannot but make people sympathize and regret.

In the court, the official announced in public that he would announce the candidate for the heir on the Double Ninth Festival twenty days later, and no matter whether it was the feudal royal clan or the civil and military officials, there was no need to say anything about it.

After the Double Ninth Festival, the situation will be decided.
